Common use of Elective Surgery Clause in Contracts

Elective Surgery. Where surgery is considered to be elective and not medically necessary there is no entitlement to paid time off. This includes cosmetic surgery, which is concerned with the enhancement of appearance through surgical and medical techniques and procedures. Where time off is required, employees should use annual leave, Flexi/ TOIL or school closure periods (term time only staff). For cosmetic surgery that relates to a medical condition and is supported by a medical certificate, the usual sickness absence provisions apply. Please refer to the Sickness Absence Management Policy, this is available on the Intranet or from Human Resources.
